Finally while this is all interesting, how is this any more relevant to our discussion of things Meridian than our auto thread? I understand that upset some people and I felt it was a fun diversion. I don't mind discussing things technical but I aside from controlling our Meridian gear, I don't see how the iPad or phone or anything else Apple is truly germane to our discussion, unless our discussion is actually more open and then why would the discussion of autos be off limits, especially on the eve of Meridian doing its first (that I am aware of) in car audio system.
I don't mind you discussing cars in a car thread. But you discussed cars in a "Is Meridian worth the money" thread. This is a thread specifically about the iPad. I don't mean to be unfriendly or overly-solemn but just to answer your point
